God where are you?

Every day we encounter situations that seem to ask one question regarding our beliefs. Going through life I have come to realise that it's easy to ask this question and waver. Everyday life poses questions that need answers. Speaking with friends recently we conclude that life's challenges seem to as ask one major question "God where are you?". This question is in various forms..."Is God real?"..."Can God do it?"

Every challenge in life can either build or destroy you. If life's circumstances can challenge your thinking causing you to doubt your faith in God the result is tumultuous. It's imperative in life we realise that no matter how hard the winds blow in the storms of life God is real. In fact He is more real than the person next to you. 

Why do I believe He is more real than the person next to me? Think about the following statements and am sure you will agree with me...
  • He is the Creator...We may not see Him but we can see His handiwork. 
  • He is the Source of Life...He breathed into Adam and he became a living soul...He still can breathe into that dead looking situation you are facing!!!
  • He is the Lifter of your head....How many times have you hung head bowed in defeat but down the road the journey turned into victory.
  • He is the Way Maker....He makes a way where there is no way....History shows that God has been in this business of life longer than that challenge causing you to doubt.
  • He is the Potter....stop looking at the pot of life. The pot may look beautiful but it's the Potter who makes the pot we ought to appreciate for the beauty and splendor of life. Gazing at the pot is to lose focus on who makes the pot beautiful.
  • He Reigns....irrespective of what you may think God is in control. He has not lost the plot. He is working it out for your good. If Jesus rose, you will arise. If Lazarus rose, then you also are a candidate to arise. The question is are you in a place to hear Him calling you to arise from the ashes of life to your place of restoration.
I could go on and on but will cut it short. Challenges deplete our strength and reliance on God. That's why we have to be connected to God to see His strength carry us through life. Remember, "But those who wait on the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint" Isaiah 40:31. God is waiting for you to call on Him. Call Him, He is willing to carry you through the storm.

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...

From the Pit to Safety

The news about the miners rescue has filled the atmosphere with a real lever of optimism. What began as a sad tale has ended well. As I have followed this story over the last 69 days I have had a few thoughts about some of the symbolism of this whole experience. In life we all will find ourselves in a pit (mine) of some sort.Thus the decision to see what I could learn from these great gentlemen. Firstly, they were miners. Do you realise that we all are miners in life? You may not mine for copper but as a lawyer you are mining legal matters that bring you profit. You may be a doctor whose responsibility is to mine to the root of the issue that is troubling a patients body!! We all are mining for a living!!! The miners numbered 33. Jesus was 33 when He was buried. After He died He was buried before He arose. We saw 33 men come out alive. Talk about a resurrection in their lives and in the lives of the men, families, and nation. Each miner underwent change. Whilst in the darkness of th...

Arise!!

The world today is one where many feel as though life is beating them down. The different challenges we face in this journey called life have punched many down and out. The fuel price increases, the job cuts, economic recession in different parts of the world, government changes either through the ballot or bullet, governments going broke, floods, drought, to just but name a few things facing many in the world today. It's difficult to go to a party and you don't hear bad news relating to someone you know. The world is changing. The weather patterns are affected by global warming, societal values held by previous generations are being obliterated by the ones following, and guess what, life for many is a nightmare. Today, I want to encourage that person who is lying down beaten by life. We all at times go through situations in life where we are down. It may appear that life's challenges have handed down a technical knockout blow, but humanity was not made to be beaten by lif...
